I am here for Networking

About Me


a Burst Collective effort.
if you like studio geekery and odd stuff, you might like our main studio site .
I am home to many vintage, analog, and vibey pieces of gear... this allows layers of grease or dirt to be added to anything you might want to record.
The guys who work inside my walls also have lots of software and whiz-bang-gizmos to make things ultra clean (or "perfect"). For a full list of equipment, check our blog.
I've got 14' ceilings, a fancy espresso machine, snacks, drinks, plenty of free parking, great restaurants right nearby, cool looking microphones, the latest software, pristine digital convertors, the hi-dollar custom cabling, top-notch acoustic design, stratospheric sample rates, and on and on and on... but really, shouldn't it be more about people and ears, inspiration and soul, music and groove?
Come check me out. I'm unlike any other studio you've ever been over-charged for.
Many thanks to Pause Photography / Robby Koenig for the killer studio shots!
